Biography

Born in 1946 in Montromant, France,[3] her parents moved to Bourail in 1951 and Blandine grew up in rural New Caledonia (now Vanuatu). After returning to France to study nursing in Lyon, she returned to Vanatau to work at the hospital in Noumea and then at the first Territorial Nursing School.[3]

She met and married Vincent Boulekone, a law student and French-speaking native from the islands and would go on to have three children. The couple moved to Port Vila in 1973 and Blandine worked at the dispensary and then at the hospital, where she became head nurse, while her husband entered politics and became a member of Parliament. In 1980, when the French colony of New Hebrides became the Republic of Vanuatu, Blandine was named the head of health education at the Ministry of Health.[3][6]

To help establish a health education system in Vanuatu, she founded the Vanuatu Family Health Association, which works across the country's various islands. She was also the executive director of the Vanuatu branch of Transparency International, and a founding member of the National Council of Women, of which she was subsequently president from 2012 to 2014. She became a naturalized Vanuatu citizen in 1990.[3][6]
